Well, i have aquired all three vipers but i cannot find out why all three have no top end speed what so ever. At around 190 they die down even the tuned version. with the qts i barley managed 202mph in the tuned srt-10 but aws able to get 218-220 out of the tuned vette and ford gt (no drafting) ??????????:nervous:
 
yeah IDK why its like that I love running the 02 viper in the 600PP class but its got no power compared to the other cars.
 
I did lol, its something is NOT right at all, not right at all. This is madness. Its like theres a governer on there or something because it gets up to 170 quick and then everything dies down slowly
 
Tune every option possible, then try it. If it doesn't work, go back and tune another option and try it, then repeat.

It may take quite a while but at least you'll see how your Vipers react with each and every tuning option. Then you'll have the perfect setup exactly how you want it.

Or it could be a bug...I'll have to get a Viper, tune it to the same setting as you and see if it happens.
 
it acts like it has much less power than what the numbers show. My stock corvette with no qts can beat my tuned viper with qts as far as speed goes. It must be a programming error or something idk, then again this is only the prologue
 
Show me how you tuned the Concept by GT Viper and i'll see what happens with mine. Show me only what you changed.
 
think ill get noe aswell see what happens even with my loathing of american muscle cars the corvette tuned has turned out to be 1 of my best cars!!
 
I agree. I tried out the tuned viper last night, and I couldn't stand it, so I sold it and now I'm using the Z06/tuned which is much better.
 
Its not just the concept gt viper but all three. As far as handling goes, i love it, but the top end is just nasty lol because there is none. The mines skyline does the samething when fully upgraded. It has better stats than the gtr 07 but is nothing compared to it. This is weird but funny all at the same time
 
The simple fact of the matter is that the Viper has a massive engine, possibly the largest engine in the world when it comes to a production car. 8.2 litres of cubic displacement means that the Viper makes a great deal of it's power at very low revs and tends to run out of puff after 5500rpm. If you're trying to get the Dodge to rev all the way to the redline, then of course it's not going to respond. The displacement of the V10 doesn't allow it to develop power at such high revolutions.

Put simply, you'll notice that Honda's Integra which has a 2.0 litre engine can develop horsepower at extremely high revs, but the larger the engine becomes it will develop peak power with much less RPM. If you're thrashing your Viper for top-end speed at 6,500RPM, then you're missing the meaty part of it's power and you should tune the top-speed so that the car is maxing out at around 5,500RPM. I guarantee you it will be a much quicker car.

I've done 3 days of different set ups keeping the gear ratios corresponding with the powerband but the car still acts like it is being held back by something. i cant describe it, its unusual. i've been tuning vipers since GT1 and NEVER had this problem. oh well, maybe its just an error in the game:grumpy:
 
We had a Garage Showdown competition with the '06 Viper tonight. Keep in mind, these are well-tweaked cars that are set up by good tuners. And still, I couldn't get any power on the straightaways, even with the draft. Nobody else could, either. The top speed of an actual Viper SRT-10 is listed as about 195 mph. As far as I can tell, this isn't an error in the game; it's how the car really behaves at high rpm.

Is the 195mph figure the sort of number that was quoted by Dodge, or is it a tested top speed? 195mph is bloody quick!
 
It doesn't say how long it took to get to 195 though did it? Not to mention all the tuned cars have different gearing, weight, power. Most were far down on power compared to the standard model due to the 600PP Limit.

... where it also is worth mentioning that the game reduces power by taking away torque at the higher rev range, so topspeed is what you're going to lose.

True, its very evident on the Vipers power/torque graph how the two change with RPM.
 
It could be because Vipers aren't that fast up top? My C6-zo6 beats the new vipers pretty easy from a roll...Too heavy of a car in my opinion. The C6-Zo6 is better in real life and the game...

A buddy of mine owns one and we take it on the highway. It's not bad from a 40. But, the higher speed we get it dies.
